Re: Engelbert Heiner - 19 March 1945

Hi,
Sorry I make a mistake! Not OLtn. Engelbert Heiner was the one who relased from CDN PoW Camp, it was Hptm. Kurt-Heinz Weigel, Staffelkapitän 11./NJG 6. He was also an ex-bomber pilot from KG 55, crashed in Sommerset at 25. Sept. 1940. In Canada he simulated an very nervous brake down Officer, he also faked an suizid in the bathroom!!! It must be very real so he was released from PoW-Camp at 2. Mai 1944 and return to Germany. As an ex-bomber pilot he now trained as an Nightfigter Pilot and until summer 1944 he served with IV./NJG 6. He crashed in March 1945 with his Ju 88G-6 2Z+BV WNr. 621077 and his entire crew at the landing for Gerolozhofen near Brünnstadt/Mainfranken. All four KIA.
